Theriano scores 45 out of 100 for violent crime — average crime, on a scale where 50 is the average for Greece. It is home to about 133 people at 618 people per km².
The score is absolute, not a ranking: 50 is the offence rate for Greece as a whole, 100 the safest end of the scale and 0 the least safe, and every doubling of the rate costs the same number of points wherever you are. Regional units are scored from Eurostat's police-recorded offence rates per 100,000 inhabitants. Greece publishes nothing finer, so municipalities and districts share out their region's measured rate by how built-up they are and by documented local reporting — treat those two levels as an estimate, not a count of reported crime.
What Theriano is actually like
A community of the Vrachnaiika municipal unit on the ground inland of the southern coastal plain. A small settlement of houses and holdings with a local population, no institutions and no visitor infrastructure. Nothing in the 2024-2026 Greek press or Hellenic Police record names Theriano.
After dark
Quiet and dark, with no lighting away from the core and little through traffic. Nothing documented.
What to watch for
- Unlit rural lanes
- Isolated houses; standard burglary precautions
Staying here
Only as a rural base with a car. No visitor accommodation of note and no advantage for an early Italy ferry.
